Managing Associated Domains in Asana
This guide explains how associated domains work in Asana, enabling companies with multiple brands or email domains to give employees access under a single Enterprise organization. It ensures users across all your brands can use Asana while remaining under your organization’s control.
What Are Associated Domains?
-
An associated domain is any email domain that your organization controls and wants to include in a single Asana Enterprise instance.
-
Example: If your company owns
@BrandNameOne.com
,@BrandNameTwo.com
, and@BrandNameThree.com
, all of these domains can be associated with your Asana organization. -
Users with emails on any of the associated domains can request to join your Enterprise organization and be managed under its security and admin settings.
Enabling Associated Domains
-
Access the Admin Console
-
You must be a Super Admin to manage domains.
-
Navigate to Admin Console → Security → Domains.
-
-
Add a New Domain
-
Click Add Domain and enter the email domain you want to associate.
-
Asana will require verification to prove ownership (DNS TXT record or email verification).
-
-
Verify Domain Ownership
-
Follow the prompts to confirm you control the domain.
-
Once verified, users with emails on that domain can join your organization.
-
-
Set Access Rules for Each Domain
-
Decide if all users from a domain are automatically allowed to join.
-
You can enforce approval for new users to ensure only active employees have access.
-
Use Case Example
Scenario:
-
Enterprise:
BrandNameUmbrella
-
Brands:
BrandNameOne
,BrandNameTwo
,
BrandNameThree
-
Total Users: ~125 across all brands
Solution:
-
Associate the three email domains with the single Enterprise instance.
-
Employees from all brands will log in to the same Asana organization.
-
Admins can manage teams, licenses, and permissions across all brands from one organization.
-
This ensures everyone can collaborate in Asana without purchasing separate Enterprise plans for each brand.
Key Notes
-
Adding a domain does not automatically create new licenses; users still need to be assigned seats.
-
Super Admins control which teams users can join and what permissions they have.
-
Multiple divisions or teams can be configured within the organization to separate work by brand, region, or function.
